Product Description
Cubes vs spheres. Who will line up four first? 🌈🟦🔴
The Block Design Four In A Row – Rainbow is a bold new twist on a classic strategy game, and it's been shortlisted for the 2026 Gift of the Year in Games & Puzzles. 🏆 Instead of flat counters, players battle it out with sculptural painted wooden pieces: cubes vs spheres, in vibrant colour gradients that shift as the game unfolds.
Start with a perfect rainbow, then mix it up as you play, creating unexpected colour pairings and sculptural arrangements on the board. Plan, block and outsmart your opponent to get four in a row before they do.
It's quick to learn and endlessly replayable, making it a brilliant game for two players of different ages. Children practise planning ahead, spotting patterns and thinking strategically, while grown-ups will find it just as hard to put down.
Leave it out on the coffee table and you'll find that someone always fancies 'just one more game'. 😄
Whether you're playing to win or simply styling your shelf, it's a joyful celebration of colour, form and strategy, designed for both play and display.
A little hop, skip and a four-in-a-row win. 💛
